โI'm not going to tell you it gets easier, because I don't know if it does. What I can say is that you learn to carry it better. The assessments, the meetings, the forms, they're exhausting, but you're the expert on your child. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Find one person who gets it, even if it's just someone online. And if you can, find two hours a week just for you. It's not selfish, it's survival.โ
โFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was sensory stuff with clothes and labels and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โto whoever needs this: i was where you are two months ago. school refusal since september. this morning i sat in the garden with a coffee and felt ok. it came back for me a little at a time.โ
โHey. If you're just starting out with this, I won't pretend I've got it all sorted. Some days I still hide in the bathroom for five minutes. But you learn. You learn that the meltdown isn't naughtiness, it's overload. You learn which clothes work and which ones cause a fight. You learn to ignore the looks in the shop. Find one or two people who get it, even if it's online. And cut yourself some slack. You're doing more than you think.โ
